Double Stroller Recommendations For Infant and Todder?

Share

I will soon be the proud mom of a 20 month old and a newborn and am desperate for a good double stroller. My 20 month old definitely still needs to be in a stroller and even naps it in still so I need something that is more than just a frame for her. I live in the suburbs so I'm also looking for something that collapses pretty easily so it can go in the car - but I do like to take walks, so I'm open to jogging strollers. Any moms out there have any favorites??

I have owned 4 doubles for my kids, 26 months apart- the sit 'n stand, maclaren twin techno, the baby jogger city sport and finally the phil n teds sport with double attachment. I found the sit and stand was ok, but too long. The maclaren double is great, but got HEAVY to push when my kids were 3 and 1. And you can't use a baby carrier with it. The baby jogger is great for walks, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyday- it weighs about 30 lbs.
I finally coughed up the money for the phil and teds and have been thrilled. You can rig it with a baby carrier and toddler seat. It has air tires, so it is a breeze to push and great for walks/light jogs. It is compact compared to other doubles and was great as the kids got older- they fought to sit in the back. You can fold it without removing toddler seat. It's about 22 lbs. When son was too old, I added the boogie board for the back- it has lasted 4 years now. It's been worth the price tag and I can't recommend it enough!!

The Baby Trend Sit-n-Stand Double is great. You can put the baby carrier in the front and then have a back seat for your toddler. Then as they grow the back seat comes off (leaving you with a platform like a regular sit-n-stand) and you have a regular seat up front. My kids are 25m apart and my toddler is on the small side so this has been perfect.

The Baby Trend Sint-n-Stand Double is great because you can use the baby carrier in the front and there is still a seat in the back. Then as they get older you can take the back seat off (then it becomes a platform like a regular sit-n-stand) and a regular seat up front. My kids are 25m apart, but my older one is on the smaller side so it has been great.

I have a Graco DuoGlider. It seated my then 3y old and my newborn in his graco snugride. Now I'm going to move my 9m old out of the snugride, so he'll be sitting in the stroller. It's easy to manoever and opens and closes easy. i'm petite and have no problem lifting it into my minivan, once u develop a rhythm to doing that (one hand on handle, the other on the basket frame; then lift; then slide into the back of the van). Both seats have snack trays which can be rotated out of the way for kids to get in and out. Both seats recline, the back reclines more than the front one, so the napper can go in the back. And I like this one better than the side by side ones which are a pain to fit into doors/entrances etc. It also has a spacious basket which can be folded down for easy access. I've used it everyday for the past 9m in heat, rain and snow and it's still as good as new. I highly recommend it!

I just found an amazing deal on really good double strollers. The website Totsy is having a sale on Easy Walker Strollers. The double strollers normally run from $700-999 and are on sale for $359-449. I thought it was an excellent deal and could not wait to pass it on to other mommies-to-be that are needing double strollers. :D The sale only lasts until Thursday night 1-6-11, so hurry up and check it out!
I promise I'm not trying to spam you guys, I just couldn't believe the deal, and the quality of the stroller, and I know how expensive it can be to have multiples, so I thought anything will help right??
In case you have no idea what Totsy is, it's a website that hosts sales for other companys. You join the site (it's 100% free to join! You just have to be invited) and check it out every day to see what sales they are having. The sales normally last anywhere from 48hours to 5 days, so you have to move quick on what you want. I absolutly love the site, because I have been able to
